Do you want me to flat rate that stuff to you?

when you arriving?
I was going to strip the swaybar endlinks before we left so all we had to do was bolt it up.
I was going to install that nice cobra jobby you sent me for my birthday in the XJ.
 
Aslo trimmed the rear some.

New arm is in and on!

Reamer should be here tomorrow. Broke down one of the rims and tires today.
I should have painted it pink with purple dots.

Thursday afternoon. You want to wheel in the morning disconnected and then put them on when I get there? I'll order the studs that go in the axle end.

I'll offer the cb up in the other thread and bring the swr meter. I found it in the garage.

Think they will be CTMs... ? Tyler knows lol. Only reason is my donor replacement shafts weren't the right size, and this is all i have time for... It kinda drains my new tire money, but after this trip, I can put supercharger back on, tune it, and I'll have axles that can handle the Power!
 
Lets see...
* finish cage
* swap axles again
* build traction bar
* re-plumb all brake lines
* install cb after it sitting in the shed every crawl I've attended
... and thats just my jeep. Still have to build another one aftter that for a buddy thats coming with. It gets axles, stiffeners front to rear, bumper build, 4.5" rough country long arms, 231 swap w/ SYE... Guess I got alot to do.
 
Well...

New springs.... or coil overs Done!
Finish passenger half door. Done!
Narrow front with new H1 rims and centers... Done!
If that fubars my current steering: redo steering. Tire hits arm so time to punt! Getting a new arm fabed up this weekend I hope! DONE!
FIx rock lights!
Install rock lights!
Install tail lights!
Fix anything I break between now and then!

added to the list:
power RV steps for the wienerbox
Power converter wiring

- get vacation approved DONE!
- make ZJ highway driveable
- swap junk CV shafts for u-joint shafts
- swap junk CV front d/s for normal shaft
- remove broken hitch bolts
- re-install hitch/install gas tank skid
- install t'case skid

No guarantees we will make it, but we're gonna try!
 
Brake booster on tow rig is replaced she stops much better now, still going to tgo through tth erear brakes. Other than that All I have to do is tighten up jjs on lca's.


JJ's are tight, will probably be switching out to heims as I am tired of the jjs loosening up.
 
Cage is done and sheetmetal is back on, front axle will be under it today to replace the d30 laying under it and if the rain holds out for me tomorrow, the rear will be done also.
